Duh, what's a prototype? :-) Seriously, I'm used to working with
ancient compilers that never heard of prototyping, which explains my
meticulous hand-made style. One of these days I'll have to upgrade to
a newer compiler - hopefully I won't slide into sloppy coding practices.
After that, who knows - maybe even a SOURCE LEVEL DEBUGGER!!!
Wheeeee...
We Real Programmers must be masochists. ;-)
